Assange's internet link intentionally severed by state party

WikiLeaks
has activated “contingency plans” after its co-founder’s
internet service was intentionally cut off by a state actor, the
media organization said in a tweet.

The internet
is one of the few, if not only, available ways for Julian Assange,
who has been locked up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for more
than four years, to maintain contact with the outside world.

Clinton’s
campaign has made unsubstantiated claims that WikiLeaks is working
with the Russian government to help defeat the Democrat in favor of
Trump.

Last week
the FBI reissued a statement saying it was working to “determine
the accuracy, nature and scope” of cyber intrusions, but did not
name any suspected perpetrators.

Earlier this
month, it emerged that Hillary Clinton reportedly wanted to “drone”
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange when she was the US secretary of
state.

According to
True Pundit, Clinton and the State Department were under pressure to
silence the whistleblower in the months before WikiLeaks dumped some
250,000 diplomatic cables from 1966 to 2010, dubbed CableGate.

Unidentified
State Department sources claimed Clinton asked “can’t we just
drone this guy?”.
